GMA Without Gibson: “You Were Our Rock, Our Guide, Our Reason…”

ABCNews.com is featuring poems, memories, and well wishes for Charles Gibson. Here’s a poem sent in by Eleanor in Tucson, Ariz.:

Charlie, you’re the natural choice, To be “World News Tonight’s” voice, But GMA can never replace, A man of your enormous grace. We’ll miss your wit, your charm, your style, The void you leave will be a trial. You were our rock, our guide, our reason, Through joy and turmoil in every season. My son was born as you began; Three dogs have died, the husband ran . But always Charlie, there on my screen, To inform and delight, a housewife’s dream. Now rest assured, your fans will follow; But in the a.m. there’ll be a hollow, Where once you joked and teased your co-hosts, And rocked the new grandchild you love most. From north to south, east to west, Charlie, you are: ‘Simply the Best!’”
